I have had uncontrolled seizures for almost eight years after a TBI. I am on four medications now and my doctor keeps pushing the VNS on me, telling me that is my only option. Your posts have opened my eyes.
I was never enthusiastic about this "therapy" to begin with, but now I am terrified.
I send out my deepest condolences to everyone who has lost someone or who has lost part of themselves because of this device. Thank you to everyone that helped me become aware of this information, if it hadn't been for you I never would have known about these risks. My doctor sure hadn't told me about them....

Hello,
Could it be the level on which the vns is set? Mine has worked fine and even has stopped a few seizures. I know the last time I had my doctor adjust the setting I couldn't stand the feeling of the new level and asked him to go back. It's standard that he increases the level. I'm not sure what he'll do next but this for me is fine now.
Hope all goes well

Eu tenho sido vítima de um vírus da herpes nos últimos quatro anos e tive dores constantes, especialmente nos joelhos. Durante o primeiro ano, eu tinha fé em Deus que eu seria curada do vírus algum dia.Este começou a circular por todo o meu corpo e eu tenho feito o tratamento do meu médico há algumas semanas, eu vim procurando na Internet para descobrir se Eu poderia obter informações sobre a prevenção deste vírus, na minha pesquisa eu vi um testemunho de alguém que foi curado (hepatite B e vírus de verrugas) por este homem Dr. ALUYA e ela também deu o endereço de e-mail deste homem e conselhos que devem entrar em contato com ele para qualquer cura que seria de grande ajuda, então eu escrevi para DR ALUYA dizendo-lhe sobre o meu vírus da herpes, ele me disse para não se preocupar que eu ia ser curado! hmm, eu nunca acreditei, bem depois de todos os procedimentos e ervas medicinais que me foram dadas por este homem algumas semanas depois, comecei a experimentar as mudanças em mim e o Dr. ALUYA me garantiu que eu estava curada e que eu estava pedindo ajuda médica. teste depois de um tempo eu fui ao meu médico para confirmar se eu finalmente curado que era verdade, e meus amigos, meu conselho é, se você tiver esse mesmo problema ou qualquer outro, então você pode enviar e-mail Dr ALUYA via e-mail (DR.ALUYASOLUTIONTEMPLE2 @ GMAIL.COM) ou ligue para +2349073364485 PARA AJUDA.
